The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this experiment on forming brass and bronze from pennies. Students will use post and pre-1983 pennies to create bronze and brass alloys. The class will learn the differences between brass, bronze and copper as well as laboratory...

“10 Simple and Effective In-class Experiments and Demonstrations for Materials Education–An Overview,” is a formal evaluation of 10 basic activities which can be utilized in classrooms from the elementary level through undergraduate. The modules evaluated during this review were compiled by...

This learning activity introduces students to rapid prototyping and 3D printing in the classroom setting. Students use a UV sensitive monomer to make small three-dimensional objects and learn about the chemistry and physics of the process. This demonstration is intended for a high school audience....

These resources were developed by the National Convergence Technology Center (CTC) and include presentation documents and lab activities on essential 5G concepts and skills. These materials are intended to be used as a classroom module. This material was created in response to ongoing discussions...

This resource, published in the Experimental Techniques journal, describes an experiment related to the Helmholz resonator. "The Helmholz resonator is perhaps the simplest acoustic resonant system. The ideal Helmholz resonator consists of an air volume enclosed with rigid walls and vented through a...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this lesson plan for students learning about polymers. The class will create a material similar to silly putty using cross linking polymers. The module will allow students to observe the changes in physical properties when a...

In this 3-page activity, provided by the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center (ATEEC), students study environmental contaminates and human health. Each student takes the role of a stakeholder in the issue of protecting a community from foodborne illness. Suggestions are provided to...

This document highlights a learning module that explores additive manufactured polymers. Through the module, students create polymer materials, make a test matrix, and conduct an experiment to explore bending stress. Lab software and equipment requirements, instructor notes, the experiment's...

Using exposition, graphics, and commercial videos, this module teaches the history, theory, and application of affinity chromatography in the characterization of proteins, nucleic acids, and other biochemical/biomedical systems. Problems and application examples support the tutorial material. The...
